We applied for FEMA funds twice after it happened and we didn't get anything despite having thousands of dollars in damage due to the storm. It breaks my heart that those who had damage worse than us or lost their homes aren't getting the support they need.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.”

I didn't know woodpecker likes citrus fruits!?

I saw a pair of Tree Swallows today! New bird for me! They were nesting at my local Wild Birds Unlimited store! #birds #birding #newbird #nestingbirds

Was in a creative mood today, so I made a little watercolor of a Yellow-bellied Sap Sucker that visited my house not too long ago. Cute little Birb! #birds #backyardbirds #watercolor #painting

Saw a new bird for me! A little House Wren! #cutie #borb #birding #backyardbirds

Saw a cool Red shoulderd Hawk in my neighborhood today! #addBirder #birds #borb #birding

I feel like I'm in a fever dream right now.....what is happening.

Here's some more bird visitors! Don't mind the murky ones it rained hard that day, but I saw some new bird friends and wanted to share! I was especially excited for the pictures of the Yellow-Rumped Warbler (quick lil suckers) and the Eastern Towhee (usually a ground bird)!

Gave me chill and goosebumps reading the comments.

A few more 🥰

For my first official post, I wanted to share some of the cute bird friends that have visited my house recently 😊 🐦
